PELARGONIUM (NEW IVY-LEAVED), MRS. CANNELL 
19 
The flowers are large in size, perfect in form, 
stout and durable in substance, and produced 
in bold, well-filled trusses ; while the colour is 
a deep mauve-lilac or purple, beside which all 
the other similarly coloured sorts look pale and 
ineffective. It is, in fact, much the best variety 
which has yet been obtained,, and we may hope 
that its vigorous habit and finely formed 
flowers may be turned to good account by some 
of our hybridists. The variety was raised by 
Mr. Church, and has passed into Mr. Cannell’s 
hands for distribution. 
The following Ivy-leaved sorts, both single and 
double, selected for us by Mr. Cannell, are un¬ 
questionably the best and most distinct of those 
introduced up to the present time, and can be 
strongly recommended :— 
Double Varieties. 
Viscountess Cranbrook. — A most beautiful 
blush-white, of a satiny texture, slightly suffused on 
upper petals with rose-lilac; a very fine variety, 
producing flowers of good form and large size, in 
great abundance.
